You'll collaborate on breakthrough medical technologies that unite multiple subject areas to build a connected digital ecosystem that advances medical professionals' skills and improves patient outcomes.

The Senior Robotic Software Engineer will work with the rest of the Robotics and Control team as well as the Clinical, SW, Hardware and Systems Engineering teams to bring to life the control of the surgical robot and instruments.

We’re looking for a Senior Robotics Software Engineer to develop high-performance software for next-generation robotic surgical systems.

You’ll work on real-time control, system and software architecture, and safety-critical applications that directly impact patient outcomes.

This role blends deep software engineering expertise with robotics fundamentals in a regulated, multidisciplinary environment.

The successful candidate will have the capacity to work closely with engineers from software, hardware, systems, quality, regulatory, and other subject areas.

The candidate should be self-motivated, curious, and have the desire to bring the latest software technologies into the medical world.

This is an individual contributor role that requires strong collaboration, leadership, and influence skills to be successful.

We value software craftsmanship, architectural thinking, and proactive problem-solving above all.
